Get more help: Losing weight requires more than just diet control you also need to increase activity level. If you had done the above and still can't lose, i urge you to see a physician to evaluate your regimen. You might be on a drug that is causing weight gain that will need to be switched. You might need minor tweak that a dietician can spot in your diet, or learn an activity that you can do at work...

Losing weight: Pcos is associated with some changes in body chemistry, particularly in Insulin levels and glucose levels. While the mainstay of weight control is 20 minutes or more of exercise a day and a healthy diet (5 servings of fruits or vegetables a day), in your condition a medication called metformin will help to lower your sugar and Insulin and thus reduce some of the tendency to weight gain.
